Western society often incorporates the Ten Commandments through legal and moral frameworks that emphasize principles such as justice, respect for others, and personal integrity. Many of these commandments align with secular laws, such as prohibitions against theft and murder, which reflect a shared ethical foundation. Additionally, the commandments influence cultural values and norms, promoting concepts like honesty and fidelity in personal relationships. However, their application varies significantly across different communities and individuals, with some viewing them as religious guidelines while others see them as historical moral teachings.
